The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 620
(On the last day of this month, friends who have votes can vote!)

In the lobby of the Wuding government office, Xu Longsheng was listening to the report of the scouts.

Zhu Jihong, commander of the Xiaowu left guard, and several other trusted aides, Qianhu, were sitting in the hall at the moment.

The scout narrated the situation of Yongjun's review, which made several powerful officials at the scene frown.

Waving the scouts back, Xu Longsheng said, "King Yong is here in person...I'm afraid they are going to attack!"

After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jihong asked, "You mean...they are going to take the initiative to hit us?"

Xu Longsheng nodded and replied, "That's right!"

The atmosphere in the hall is particularly dignified, and now the imperial army is trapped inside and outside.

Food is already stretched thin, even if it is supplied as it is now, it can only last for three months at most, and this is precisely the most terrible thing.

It is precisely because they are the most short of food that the imperial army will search everywhere, and finally found "Hope" in Longyou, and then encouraged the capital of the North to go south together.

But who knew that Prince Yong's Mansion was an iron plate, not only did they fail to get food, but they also damaged the soldiers and horses of the three guards.

Now that they are trapped in Wuding Mansion, they are basically unable to organize an attack.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhu Jihong said: "Old Xu...we can't sit still and wait for death!"

Xu Longsheng asked: "What countermeasures do you have?"

"To put it bluntly, the most important thing right now is to get food to stabilize the morale of the army!"

"You mean, go grab the Yongjun Wharf on the bank of the river?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jihong said helplessly, "It's not easy!"

"Then where else can we get food?" Xu Longsheng was puzzled.

He was in a hurry at the moment, but he was still calm on the surface.

These days, he has had nightmares every night, either being boiled and eaten by his subordinates, or being torn to pieces by Yong Jun's five horses.

Zhu Jihong reminded: "There is food in the northern capital, and it is very close to Hongxi County!"

"Northern capital?" After thinking for a while, Xu Longsheng said: "They have a lot of soldiers and horses, it's not easy to beat them!"

"Once we are unable to attack for a long time and are cut off by the Yong army, our army will be wiped out!"

What Xu Longsheng said was the truth, but Zhu Jihong said: "No matter how difficult they are...I'm afraid they are easier to deal with than Prince Yong's Mansion!"

Xu Longsheng couldn't help being stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth.

The persimmons need to be picked and pinched, and the fire is imminent right now, and I can't care about any long-term plans.

Just then, someone came outside their meeting hall.

Someone came to report: "I want to see Commander Xu!"

"Master Commander is discussing matters!"

The visitor said again: "I am the messenger of Wang Qianhu of Bei'an Mansion. I have something important to report to Mr. Xu. Brother, please report!"

There is only one Wang Qianhu in Bei'an Mansion, Wang Cheng'an, and the guards on duty are well aware of his importance.

But the guard asked, "Which gate did you enter the city?"

Although there was no clue about this question, in order to save time, the messenger immediately replied: "You entered the city from the west gate, what's the matter?"

The guard replied: "It's nothing, there seems to be a commotion in Dongcheng, just to ask about the situation!"

"Wait a minute, I'll report to the adults inside!"

The messenger could only stay outside the gate. After waiting for about a minute, the guard who reported the situation came out to let him in.

Passing all the way to the hall, the messenger saluted several senior officials present.

I only heard Xu Longsheng ask: "Wang Cheng'an sent you back, but what's the matter?"

"Reporting to my lord, Wang Qianhu asked the villain to send a letter back!"

After saying that, the messenger took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xu Longsheng.

After receiving the letter and checking that it had not been opened, Xu Longsheng opened it.

Although the content of the letter was short, Xu Longsheng was taken aback by the news.

Seeing Xu Longsheng's strange expression, Zhu Jihong couldn't help asking: "Old Xu... What happened to Bei'an Mansion?"

After handing the letter to Zhu Jihong, Xu Longsheng said, "The capital of the Northern Region wants to join hands with us to defend against Prince Yong's Mansion!"

Then a thousand households asked, "Haven't they already made peace with Prince Yong's Mansion? Are they still receiving food from others?"

Xu Longsheng replied: "Wang Cheng'an said that Liu Shili was afraid of the power of Prince Yong's mansion, so he did not pretend to be a snake!"

"Now that the army of Prince Yong's Mansion is suppressing the border, they are also afraid of a surprise attack by the Yong army, so they are willing to join hands with our army!"

Another thousand households said, "My lord, I'm afraid there may be fraud in it!"

No wonder they were worried, they had been fighting with Beidi for nearly two years, and both sides could say that they had exhausted their tactics.

Xu Longsheng was noncommittal, but looked at Zhu Jihong and said, "Old Zhu, what do you think?"

Glancing at the messenger who was still in the hall, Zhu Jihong signaled him to go out.

What he will say next will be the top secret of the Imperial Army.

After the person left, Zhu Jihong said: "Whether it's true or not, we can always talk about it. Anyway, we won't suffer!"

Xu Longsheng said: "Didn't you just say that we have to deal with them? Talking to them now... is to stabilize them?"

Zhu Jihong replied: "Steadying them is one thing, but another meaning!"

Xu Longsheng was full of curiosity and said, "Tell me about it!"

"If they really want to attack the Yong Army, we might be able to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then... take Bei'an Mansion in one fell swoop!"

Hearing Zhu Jihong's words, Xu Longsheng couldn't help feeling that the veteran still had something in his stomach.

"If it's a deal, let them fight the Yong Army, and let's fight the Bei'an Mansion directly... Haha, this is really a game of chess!" Thinking of this, Xu Longsheng smiled, he hadn't smiled for a long time.

Zhu Jihong went on to say: "The food in Bei'an Mansion is enough for the capital of Beidi until July and August. We will have enough people to last until next year. Then we can make a long-term plan!"

At the beginning, when Zhu Jihong said to attack Bei'an Mansion, Xu Longsheng still felt that it was very difficult.

But if this plan is really followed, the difficulty of winning Bei'an Mansion will be greatly reduced, and it is very feasible.

Although there are many variables involved, as Zhu Jihong said, attacking Bei'an Mansion is at least easier than attacking the Yong army.

Of course, in essence, this is a risk, a helpless act of being forced to have no choice.

"Then do this, talk to Liu Shili first!"

Just finished saying this, but Qianhu said: "My lord...why is there such a commotion in the east?"

Everyone listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a lot of movement in the east, and the sound of killing could be heard vaguely.

"Send someone to see what's going on?"

After ordering this matter, Xu Longsheng called the messenger in, and after ordering the other party, let him return to Bei'an Mansion.

After making plans for future development, Xu Longsheng was in a good mood when he heard shouts from outside.

"My lord...it's not good, Habayashi Wei's people are rebellious!"

Habayashi Wei's people turned against him?Let everyone in the hall dare to be shocked.

Xu Longsheng got up quickly and rushed out of the hall, followed by several other people in the hall.

But he saw a thousand households greet him, and before Xu Longsheng could ask any questions, he said, "My lord... In the afternoon, some people in the Yulin Guard spread rumors, and the picketing of hundreds of households wanted to arrest people, and these people turned against each other!"

Xu Longsheng immediately asked: "Those people spread rumors? How many people turned against it?"

"The people of Habayashi Guard have turned against each other. They robbed the grain depot in the east city. They are now heading to the north city. The brothers are blocking it!"

Ninety percent of the grain and grass in the city were hoarded in the North City, and the Long Zhiwei led by Xu Longsheng was stationed there, and the talents of the Yulin Guards came to the North City to grab the food.

The Habayashi Guard had three thousand heavy infantry. If they really attacked Beicheng with all their strength, Long Zhiwei would suffer heavy losses if they could defend it.

Xu Longsheng never expected that the situation would suddenly collapse.

Zhu Jihong reminded: "Old Xu, the situation must be controlled as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Xu Longsheng didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Immediately send an order, all the ministries in the city block the Habayashi Guard!"
